Summary

Have you ever heard about transcendental meditation?

You know that many stars, like the Beatles or Stevie Wonder, performed it, but you have no idea what is about.

Do you know that meditation is much more than just yoga and staying silent?

You have been interested in meditation and Eastern culture for a long time, but you don’t know where to find something more?

In this audiobook you can find the answers to these questions and to many others!

Meditation for Beginners: The Most Life-Changing Book on Transcendental Meditation That Will Shape Your Thinking on How to Meditate in Practical Ways by Gregory F. George is the ideal audiobook to be introduced to transcendental meditation. This audiobook is the perfect way for beginners to approach this practice, because it allows them to discover meditation both theoretically and practically.

The first sections are dedicated to the most didactic part of the explanation of meditation. They tell you about the story of meditation, how it has developed during the centuries until today, and how transcendental meditation was born and has spread in the Western world. You will find this part really interesting, especially if you are a beginner, because it will show how many ideas that we associate with meditation just come from the mix between the Eastern and Western culture and that a lot of them are only the surface of something deeper. Then it proceeds with the expositions of the effects of meditation on people, its benefits both on the physical and psychological level are presented. For a more complete outlook of them, you will find many examples and studies on the subject, comprehensive of sources. Finally, the audiobook offers a small introduction to the practice of transcendental meditation by explaining how to move the first steps in this discipline. This last part is very practical, it speaks to you as you are trying to do it, guiding you through the different methods and techniques. Of course, it just gives you a small hint of what meditation can actually be, but for sure it will make you curious to know more about it!

This audiobook is a great choice for anybody who wants to learn something more about meditation, whether they are new to this practice or not. It is a pleasant listen since it is really fluent and interesting, with a lot of information that spans from history to medicine, to religion, and much more.

Moreover, you will not only be more documented on transcendental meditation (and on other types of meditation that are described here), but you will also be able to understand the basics of meditation and how to start practicing it, at the beginning by yourself and then with the supervision of a master. You are going to learn some concentration techniques that you can do at home to become more familiar with meditation and with everything that comes from it.

This book gave me a lot of information.

It provides other information (mindfulness) that can serve as a kind of meditation. The author seems very open and honest in his work. I would recommend this book to anyone.

I listen it through once,

I listen it through once, and I already knew partway through the book that I'd have to relisten it again someday, this time with highlighter and pen in hand to highlight all the wisdom and to take notes. This book is easy to understand but it's also very dense with wisdom -- it's the kind of book you'll want to revisit throughout your life. Highly recommend!

Good content

Good content. I’ve seen Meditation for beginners like this before but having them at your side at all times is great. Especially since it’s carefully explained.

This is a very useful and informative book.

I thought it was elegantly composed and straightforward. The creator gives bit by bit instructions on the most proficient method to begin reflecting and what's in store from it. It was definitely justified even despite the humble value I paid for it.

Good positive book.

This book gives you different ways to hold your hands, ways to breath, and exercises to practice both. I am very glad I got to review this book.

This book does a nice job of making meditation

This book does a nice job of making meditation both understandable and accessible to the mainstream. I read this book each day and tried everything one step at a time and sometimes took longer with certain lessons. I found I could heal my pain through meditation very easily.
